Storyline

Dexter is determined to take care of the Trinity Killer/Arthur Mitchell himself, at least in part to atone for the mistake he made. When Dexter learns that Christine Hill is in custody, he realizes that the police will soon be onto Arthur, so he sets up an elaborate ruse to send them down the wrong path. It all backfires and ends in another death. Arthur also learns his real name and the work he does. Meanwhile, Rita finally tells Dexter about the kiss at Thanksgiving, but isn't quite sure what to make of his nonplussed reaction. Also, Laguerta and Batista are caught kissing on a store surveillance video and Captain Matthews is set on having them both fired. They decide there's only one way to get out of he mess they've created for themselves.

User Reviews

so not dexter

Dexter kills innocents, Dexter get innocents killed, Dexter let someone take the blame for trinity murders.............

He has definitely lost the little morality that made him interesting and complex as a character. I guess being a father, brother, husband, scientist, serial killer and a kind of super-heroes can't be as smooth and portrayed easily as it looks to be. -)

Making mistakes makes Dexter more human that he should be and thus less fascinating.

May be it is why I did not like this episode. Everything has been done to arrive to the pseudo climax with the head to head Dexter vs. Arthur........

So many flaws (walking through a police station ohohoh) on this episode, predictable ending and many other annoying stuff ( Trinity set up was so obvious we wonder how Dexter bought into it so quickly)

Terrible
